The perception here is the Rockets are a bottom-feeder and the Magic are an up-and-coming team.

Truth be told, the Rockets are nothing like last season. They have fortified themselves with a veteran lineup getting point guard Fred VanVleet and improving their defense acquiring Dillon Brooks. They also have upgraded their coaching bringing in Ime Udoka.

The Magic haven't made the playoffs the past three seasons.

I consider the Rockets to be the better team so getting points with them is a bonus.
